Terms of Service

Please read this Agreement carefully before using the Services. By using the website http://helpmonks.com (the “Site”), and applications, features and other content (collectively, the “Services”) offered by Helpmonks (“Helpmonks”), you signify your assent to become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you do not have any right to use the Services.

The Services, owned and operated by Helpmonks, collect user and usage data to enable website and application owners to send e-mail messages efficiently to consumers based on their behavior. This Agreement applies to all users of the Services. Your use of the Services is an acknowledgment that you understand and agree to be bound by this Agreement, any fees applicable to you, any additional guidelines, Helpmonks’s Privacy Policy, GDPR, and Anti-Spam Policy, and any future modifications of this Agreement.

The Services are accessed by you (“User” or “you”) under the following terms and conditions:

1. ACCESS TO THE SERVICES

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Helpmonks may provide the Services, which are selected by you, solely for your own use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party. Services shall include, but not be limited to, the offering of any materials displayed or performed on the Site and related features (including, but not limited to text, data, software, graphics, photographs, images, illustrations, audio clips and video clips, also known as the “Content”). Helpmonks may change, suspend or discontinue the Services for any reason, at any time, including the availability of any feature or Content. Helpmonks may also restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. Helpmonks may modify this Agreement at any time by posting a notice on the Services, or by sending you a notice via e-mail or postal mail. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Your use of the Services following such notification constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as modified. If at any time you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must terminate your use of the Services. You will still remain liable for any obligations incurred or charges accrued on or before the date of termination.

You certify to Helpmonks that if you are an individual (i.e., not a corporation) you are at least 18 years of age. You also certify that you are legally permitted to use the Services and access the Site. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such entity to this agreement, in which case the terms “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to use the Services is revoked in such jurisdictions.

Helpmonks will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. However, there will be occasions when the Services will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and emergency repairs or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment. Every reasonable step will be taken by Helpmonks to minimize such disruption where it is within Helpmonks’s reasonable control. Helpmonks will not be liable in any event to you or any other party for any suspension, modification, discontinuance or lack of availability of the Site, the Services, your Customer Data or Results (as defined herein) or other content.

2. CONTENT

You shall not store any significant portion of the Content in any form. Copying or storing of any Content for other than personal, noncommercial use is expressly prohibited without prior written permission from Helpmonks, or from the copyright holder identified in such Content’s copyright notice. All trademarks, service marks, and trade names which appear on the Services are proprietary to Helpmonks or third parties. You shall abide by all copyright notices and restrictions contained in any Content accessed through the Services.

The Services are protected by copyright as a collective work and/or compilation, pursuant to U.S. and other copyright laws. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Helpmonks grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable right and license (without right to sublicense) to access and use the Services, solely for your internal business purposes. You may not (except as provided in this Section of this Agreement) modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative works based on, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit, any of the Content, software, materials, or Services in whole or in part.

If you disclose Customer Data which includes personally identifiable information (“PII”) of end users of your site or application (“Customer Site”) to Helpmonks, you represent and warrant that: (i) you comply with all applicable laws relating to the collection, use and disclosure of PII on your Customer Site; (ii) you have posted and maintain a privacy policy on your Customer Site, which clearly and conspicuously discloses that: (a) you use third-party service providers to provide services to you in connection with your operation of your Customer Site, including the collection and tracking of certain data and information regarding the characteristics and activities of visitors to such Customer Site; and (b) you may disclose end user PII to certain such third-party service providers in connection with their provision of services to you; and (iii) you have made all required notifications and obtained all required consents and authorizations from your end users relating to the disclosure of end user PII to a third party service provider like Helpmonks. You further acknowledge and agree that your indemnity obligation under the “Indemnity” section below applies to your disclosure of end user PII under this Agreement.

Helpmonks reserves the right to remove any Customer Data from the Site and the Services at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all. Helpmonks may, but is not obligated to, monitor Customer Data and remove any content or prohibit any use of the Services, including by refusing to send e-mail to your end users, if Helpmonks believes in its sole discretion such content or use may be (or is alleged to be) in violation of these Terms of Service or any applicable laws or may impact delivery. All information transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such information originated. Helpmonks does not assume liability for any Customer Data. You are responsible for all Customer Data submitted under your account, including Customer Data contributed by a third party under your account.

Any feedback relating to the Services (“Feedback”) submitted to Helpmonks shall become the property of Helpmonks. Helpmonks will not be required to treat any Feedback as confidential, and will not be liable for any ideas or incur any liability as a result of any similarities that may appear in our future Services, or operations.

4. RESULTS

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties and subject to Helpmonks’s rights set forth in this Section 4, you shall own all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property and other proprietary rights) in and to all data developed using your Customer Data during the performance of the Services and delivered to you by Helpmonks (“Results”). Results are works made for hire to the extent allowed by law, and Helpmonks makes all assignments to you necessary to accomplish the foregoing ownership. You hereby grant Helpmonks a limited, non-exclusive right (i) to disclose your Results to Helpmonks’s employees and agents solely as required for them to provide Helpmonks with their products and services, and (ii) to disclose your Results to comply with court order, law, or direction by a governmental or regulatory agency (in which event, Helpmonks will use reasonable efforts to provide prior written notice to you of such disclosure and the opportunity to object to such disclosure or to seek confidential treatment of such data), and (iii) to use your Results to operate, manage, and maintain the Services, and to improve the Services’ ability to deliver web and application analytics services to you.
